Around €47 billion of the costs incurred by car traffic are not covered by the taxes and duties currently levied. Therefore road user charging systems are appropriate. Veröffentlicht in Hintergrundpapier.
In Germany, ensuring water supply is a mandatory duty of the state. Responsibility lies with the municipalities, which can use a range of organisational and legal forms to comply with this duty. Applied to the abstracted water volumes this means that the public water supply abstracted around 5,1 billion cubic meters of water to supply the population with drinking water. Groundwater reserves are the most important source of drinking water. In Germany, ensuring water supply is a mandatory duty of the state. Responsibility lies with the municipalities, which can use a range of organisational and legal forms to comply with this duty. A total of 10 billion cubic meters of waste water was treated in public sewage plants in 2010, almost exclusively through biological waste water treatment. Veröffentlicht in Flyer und Faltblätter.
The principles for further developments in radiation protection outlined here were drawn up by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) in close agreement with the Federal Min-istry for the Environment (BMU). Under these principles, BfS, as the higher federal authority responsible for radiation protection, for the first time documents comprehensively its own basic positions and perspectives on radiation protection, especially in Germany. The basic principles contain objectives and perspectives for nationwide radiation protection, which are based on a summary of current radiation protection principles. These form the basis of orien-tation and planned action frameworks, which is suited to helping to establish transparently and comprehensibly the content of the future scope of duties of BfS as regards the continued development of radiation protection, based on the formulation of clear aims.
More and more people are returning to cities with their liveliness as well as their multi-faceted cultural attractions and dining experiences, but living space is scarce. Each year, about 400,000 flats would need to be built in Germany to meet that demand. In order to address these ambitious targets, the building law was amended in 2017. The objectives are as follows: reduction in land consumption, creation of new opportunities for housing constructions, and providing further tools for more densely built-up areas with higher buildings, also promoting the coexistence between residential and industrial estates. Urban planning and housing will be simplified for municipalities. The recently established 'urban area' follows the urban model: short distances, local jobs and social diversity. Traffic should be avoided and reduced; living spaces and public spaces should be supported. Promotion of urban development through the redirection of the demand for land into areas which are already populated, reutilization of brownfields, filling of vacant lots, post urbanization, mixed-use development, qualitative upgrading of existing structures and adaptation to user's changing needs in turn lead to a higher noise level and therefore to a higher obligatory tolerance. The central issue of numerous urban projects will be an appropriate conflict resolution. Measures, such as passive sound insulation, enforcement of operational duties and allocation are gaining center stage. Thereby, the protection against noise from the outside area is important in order to ensure the quality of life. This requires further scientific knowledge of noise impact in relation to the combined impact by simultaneous exposition to all kinds of noise sources.

The BGE is unreservedly committed to compliance with the law. Indeed, acting in accordance with the law is a matter of course for the BGE – not only as a federal company. The Management Board and all employees are required to act lawfully, ethically and in accordance with rules and contracts. The overarching commitment and obligation to comply with all legal requirements and internal guidelines is expressed by the BGE in its Code of Conduct, which defines the ethical basis and the framework for the BGE’s actions. The code is derived from the material legal risks identified and evaluated at the BGE, as well as from the BGE’s guidelines. For the BGE, however, compliance also entails a supportive culture with a view to ensuring conduct in accordance with the rules. The Code of Conduct is intended to help raise awareness of legal risks and avoid infringements of the law. It does so by specifying and explaining binding guidelines in an easily understandable form as general guidance in relation to all decisions and actions. The code applies to all employees of the BGE. However, the BGE also expects its contractors, suppliers and all third-party business partners to adhere to the applicable provisions of the code if they are working with the BGE. Code of Conduct (PDF, 1,64 MB) The BGE has set up a compliance management system, which it develops on an ongoing basis. The system is based on a compliance programme whose focus lies on proactive prevention. This includes key measures such as the creation of internal rule transparency, continual further development of the anti-corruption programme, and comprehensive training activities in all compliance-related risk areas. The programme, which is closely intertwined with risk management and the internal control system, is based on the legal risks identified, evaluated and documented at the BGE. The avoidance of future rule violations requires appropriate and effective measures to ensure that rule violations are detected and sanctioned. To this end, violations can be reported by both internal and external parties (via a “whistleblower system”). In addition to its own compliance audits, the BGE’s Internal Audit department assists the Compliance & Anti-Corruption staff unit in identifying the need for action and improvement as part of its risk-oriented audits. The BGE is unequivocally committed to respect for human rights and environmental due diligence. In terms of respect for human rights, the BGE is guided by the international human rights reference instruments and frameworks. The BGE’s comprehensive approach includes not only the BGE itself but also all suppliers and business partners within the existing supply chains. The BGE’s own commitment is set out in its Statement of Principles along with a description of the principal human rights, processes and measures addressed. This Statement of Principles also sets out the BGE’s expectations of its suppliers and business partners with regard to the protection of humans and the environment. Statement of Principles (PDF, 71 KB) (PDF, 0,07MB) The Compliance/Anti-Corruption Officer of the BGE is on hand to act as an internal reporting office. With regard to the acceptance and processing of reports, the officer is independent, not subject to instructions, and bound to secrecy. The reporting office established for this purpose meets the requirements for internal reporting offices in accordance with the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG). With this reporting office, the BGE safeguards the interests of whistleblowers and ensures that any reports received are handled confidentially and that whistleblowers are protected by every possible means – to the best of the company’s knowledge and belief – against any disadvantages resulting from a report. As far as legally permissible, anonymous reports are also accepted. However, it is helpful if the whistleblower gives their contact details when making a report in order to allow better investigation of serious misconduct and to increase the capacity for dialogue as part of the system. The BGE’s whistleblower system also serves as a complaints office in accordance with the Supply Chain Act (LkSG). Accordingly, it also allows the reporting of human-rights and environmental risks as well as violations of duties relating to human rights or the environment that arise due to the BGE’s economic activities in its own area or due to the actions of a direct or indirect supplier/service provider of the BGE. Procedural rules (PDF, 124 KB) (PDF, 0,07MB) The contact details of the BGE’s Compliance/Anti-Corruption Officer are as follows: Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH Compliance-/Antikorruptionsbeauftragter Re “Report” Eschenstraße 55 31224 Peine Phone: +49 (0) 5171 43-1441 Email: hinweis(at)bge.de In addition, if anonymity is important to whistleblowers making a report by telephone, it is recommended that they withhold their number when making the call. A summary record is made of the report received by telephone. If the phone number for whistleblowers cannot be reached, a message can also be left on the answering machine connected to the phone number. Other than that, no audio recording or written record of calls is kept. As well as the possibility of the internal reporting office, the Whistleblower Protection Act provides for the possibility of an external reporting office. The option of contacting an external reporting office exists via the federal external reporting body at the Federal Office of Justice (BfJ). This external reporting body is objectively independent and organisationally separate from the rest of the BfJ’s area of responsibility. You can find additional, up-to-date information regarding reports to the Federal Office of Justice on the BfJ website (external link) Within the whistleblower system, data is processed according to the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Information for whistleblowers in accordance with sections 13 and 14 of the GDPR can be found in our data protection declaration .
